Next Snake: Children's Python?

AngelSnake · 03-10-16, 08:13 PM

I want to get a Children's as my next snake. From what I have read it seems they are around the level of a ball python. Its will still be a bit until I purchase so I'm looking for any feedback on care, personality, how well they feed, etc.

Thanks

I've read they can be bitey as babies but they are so small they can't break the skin. I was bitten by a baby spotted a lot of attitude for such a tiny snake.

They can still break skin. The thin teeth go through skin to pierce blood cells, even at their size. But they quickly calm down.

Maybe just my experience it didn't break mine.

Yeah it depends on the grip they get and stuff.

I was bitten by an adult childrens and it wasnt that bad, barely bled. I really like those eyes on the childrens, very cool.
